The Enterprise is assigned to investigate a space/time rift that has swallowed up a spacecraft. Spock believes there is a connection with the Taygetians, an aquatic race who spend all their time singing: The Federation has designated them animals and allowed them to be hunted since they shed a crystal tear when they die. To try and communicate with them, Kirk forcibly recruits musician Guy Maslin, even though he suffers from a disease that could be fatal if he is overworked or stressed. En route to the system, Maslin and Uhura fall in love and she considers leaving Starfleet to be with him.

| - The Tears of the Singers / Les larmes des Baladins un roman racontant l’Enterprise devant protéger une espèce alien en danger...
- The Enterprise is assigned to investigate a space/time rift that has swallowed up a spacecraft. Spock believes there is a connection with the Taygetians, an aquatic race who spend all their time singing: The Federation has designated them animals and allowed them to be hunted since they shed a crystal tear when they die. To try and communicate with them, Kirk forcibly recruits musician Guy Maslin, even though he suffers from a disease that could be fatal if he is overworked or stressed. En route to the system, Maslin and Uhura fall in love and she considers leaving Starfleet to be with him. Arriving at the planet, the Enterprise encounters two Klingon ships commanded by Kor. The two parties call a truce while they investigate the surface, with Kor's wife Kali accompanying them. Maslin believes the Taygetians' song is incomplete and the humans and Klingons work together to take into custody a group of hunters, since it appears the Taygetians are sentient. The landing party begin to reach the conclusion that the Taygetians' song is capable of affecting the physical world. On hearing this, Kor's first officer, Karsul, takes control and the Enterprise finds itself under attack from three Klingon ships. Kirk manages to lure them into the rift. Although Maslin's condition is taking its toll, he manages to communicate with the Taygetians and convince them to restore the ships and transport Kor, who was onboard the Enterprise, back to his own ship, where he kills Karsul and ends the mutiny. The party realise that the Taygetians used their song to protect their planet from a nova that destroyed all other life in the system. However, they have gone on singing it in a ritual fashion even though the danger is past, dedicating their whole adult lives to it. The deaths caused by the hunters have left gaps in the song and caused the rift, which now threatens to destroy the system. Kirk, Spock, Uhura and Maslin convince the Taygetians to end the song. Shortly after, Maslin dies.
